I do wonder about a time in future beyond that where there may well be almost nothing at all like we have now - with or without robots etc. - a time where there is zero manufacturing and service as we know it - where we have individual manufacturing capability - and the resources for it will be basically just drawn out of thin air. There's certainly hypotheses about that kind of thing already - I doubt if I'll see that one though. The article of course wasn't about that at all - and had a spiritual bent to it - which is where I didn't agree much - IMO - people will learn - that IMO will be the main aim in life - to learn - which will be interesting when one thinks of the thinking resources that will be available with AI etc. - but, for a while - there's a lot of miles in philosophies and things like art which will display much of our subconscious thinking I assume. The next decades are going to be just such a seismic shift for mankind if we don't blow ourselves back to the stone age - because we will be released from drudgery, we will be enhanced by AI and I really don't know where we will go - but, I suspect it will show the real potential of mankind - which is, well, sadly lacking so far - but, we do see the odd positive spark among the tragedy. we wait

Pinotohoo, I agree - as long as religion of any kind has no place in this future. Sick and tired of people who have "seen God" or are "messengers of God" telling people what to do.
